Instructions

Let’s get started with making this delicious snack mix:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). This ensures that your snack mix will crisp up perfectly without overcooking.

Step 2: Combine the Base Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add the bagel chips, pretzels, and Chex cereal. Give them a gentle toss to mix them up, so everything is evenly distributed.

Step 3: Prepare the Seasoning

In a small bowl, combine the Everything Bagel Seasoning, garlic powder, and olive oil. Stir until well mixed.

Step 4: Coat the Snack Mix

Pour the seasoning mixture over the base ingredients, and toss gently to coat everything evenly. Make sure the mix is well-seasoned so every bite gets that irresistible everything bagel flavor.

Step 5: Bake the Snack Mix

Spread the mixture evenly onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the snack mix is golden brown and crispy. Be sure to watch it closely so it doesn’t burn.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Once baked, remove the snack mix from the oven and allow it to cool completely. The mix will continue to crisp up as it cools. Once cooled, transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy!
